| | | Emma Watson updates official site with Brown University arrival & debunks rumours
Having confirmed her attendance at Brown University to Paste magazine back in July, Emma Watson has now updated her official site to briefly discuss her schooling situation, while debunking a few rumours. Quote:
I know, according to the papers I was definitely attending both Columbia and Yale but I've finally arrived at Brown University and while I wish that I could be in three places at once I wouldn't believe everything you read! I arrived on Tuesday and I'm having the most amazing time. I'm still so excited to be here. I've already met so many incredible people. I'm over my jet lag and now I just want classes to start!! Hope you are all well and happy, and if you"ve just started college or university that it is everything you hoped it would be.
Love Emma x
Oh and contrary to the reports you may have read, I didn't arrive by helicopter . I've only been in one once when I was little and I was terrified. Now back to my studies! Speak soon.
SnitchSeeker would like to note that under no circumstances will private photos of Emma, at Brown, be posted on this website. |

That's such a cool thing for her to do! I bet she will have a blast! I really hope people don't badger her all of the time, but I bet people there will get used to it sooner or later.
xD
Best of luck to her!

I've noticed that in many ways, Emma is very similar to Hermoine. In Prizoner of Azkaban Hermoine was scared to ride Buckbeak and at other times it was mentioned that she is unconfident on a broomstick similar to how Emma is afraid of the hights and riding on Helicopters. Also they both share an interest in school and extra education.

Yeah, I was on the internet on my phone last night and saw something that said, "Arrival for Emma Not As Smooth As Expected."  Did she really expect to get treated normally, at least at first?
Anyways, hopes she feels more comfy there soon.

| Hocus Pocus * HP Newsoholic Thanks for the update. One of my friends is also a Freshman there and hope he meets her. Too bad I'm on the other coast and won't be able to bump with each other while walking the beautiful campus. Wished she went to Stanford. oh well. |

Anyways, hopes she feels more comfy there soon. That's all based on one report via Twitter that she got moody about a fan taking a photo at the Financial Aid office. Given that the helicopter thing turned out to be rubbish, that could just as easily be untrue too. Emma's a smart girl with good people around her; she'll have been prepared for what might happen when she arrived. Quote:
If Emma post her own pics then SS won't post them. That would be a shame.
If Emma posts them, then we will. Because she will have clearly given permission, in that instance. Quote:
Whats wrong with UK Uni's?
In America, degrees are much more flexible. In the UK, you have to choose your 'major' when you apply. In America, you choose your focus later on. That appealed to Emma. Quote:
What is she going to be studying?
Liberal arts, so Literature is a part of it.

If many paparazzi show up the state will groan. Beautiful and full of history. I'm glad she chose it over the others so hopefully she will be able to concentrate on the University life. I wonder if she's considering a Sorority. |
